The International AIDS Conference is the premier gathering for those working in the field of HIV, as well as policy makers, persons living with HIV and other individuals committed to ending the pandemic. It is a chance to assess where we are, evaluate recent scientific developments and lessons learnt, and collectively chart a course forward.

This is why the SUPPORT. DON’T PUNISH campaign has chosen the 26th June as its “Global Day of Action”. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the harms that are caused by criminalising people who use drugs, and the need for harm reduction and other services that respect the human rights of people who use drugs.
